[ASA] [ANITA 2027] Registration open for the AI for Astrophysics Summer School and 21st ANITA Science Workshop, Swinburne, 8–12 February 2027

[Darren Croton]

Dear ASA members,

Registration is now open for ANITA 2027, a week of theoretical astrophysics at Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne: a hands-on summer school on AI for astrophysics, followed by the 21st annual ANITA Science Workshop. Both are free to attend.

AI for Astrophysics Summer School - Mon 8 to Wed 10 February 2027

A 2.5-day hands-on school on using AI assistants and coding agents in astronomy research: how the models work, how to direct them, and above all how to check their work. Mornings are talks; afternoons are a guided lab and team projects. Places are limited to 30, mainly for PhD students to senior postdocs (others welcome to apply).

No experience with AI tools is required, and every participant receives a one-month Claude Pro subscription.

21st ANITA Science Workshop - Thu 11 to Fri 12 February 2027

The annual ANITA workshop reviews theoretical astrophysics in Australia, fosters collaboration, and builds our community of both theoretical and observational astronomers. All topics in theoretical (and theoretically-connected) astrophysics are covered, and early career researchers are particularly encouraged to contribute talks.

Students giving talks are eligible for the J-P Macquart Best Student Talk Prize.
